Romanian Eagle

Chapter 441: Future layout (part 1)

Eastern Galicia has become a hot spot for investment, and Edel has also heard about it. But this time the royal family funds had been emptied, and he could only watch it dryly.

The current investment in Eastern Galicia is mainly the government in charge, and Edel is summoning an ambassador this time.

With the performance of the Romanian War and the increase in national power, there are currently more and more embassies in Romania. But most of them are small countries, and this time a country aroused his interest. The newly appointed Romanian ambassador of the Republic of China, Shao Mingren, is being summoned by Edel.

For the Romanian people, the current image of the Republic of China is occasionally seen in the newspapers with a large population and a huge territory, but the people are miserable in the endless war. Because there are too few economic and trade exchanges between the two countries, much of the news is reproduced by countries such as Britain and France, which is not familiar to this country.

In the past, the diplomatic affairs between the Republic of China and Romania were handled by the Austro-Hungarian Embassy on their behalf, but Romania was neither in a place of study, nor had economic ties, so diplomatic affairs were not too much.

Only with the defeat of Germany and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Romania suddenly appeared in the Balkans and Central Europe. For this reason, the Beiyang government allocated half of the staff in the Vienna Embassy and built the first Republican Embassy in Romania, and Shao Mingren was the first Romanian ambassador.

Speaking of this ambassador Shao Mingren, it is also a coincidence. Before he was a first-class secretary in Vienna, because he was in charge of the foreign affairs of Romania and other Balkans. At that time, Romania was only one of the small countries of the Balkans, so he was in charge of foreign affairs with Romania. Therefore, he has always dealt with Romanian government officials, and he is familiar with the situation in Romania.

After the war, Romania leaped into a large new territory and became a more important country in Europe. At this time, the Beiyang government realized that it did not have a special embassy to deal with. So after searching for diplomatic talents familiar with Romania, Shao Mingren, the first-class secretary, came into the eyes of the Beiyang Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Later, Shao Mingren, who was still a little confused after being promoted several grades, was arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be an ambassador to Romania. Of course, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not require him to make much contribution to the progress of Romania-China relations.

For the Republic of China to open an embassy in Romania, Edel also intends to meet people from his previous motherland on a whim.

"Ambassador Shao, are you still used to life in Bucharest?"

Edel looked at Ambassador Shao, who was still in front of him, and asked with concern.

Faced with the concern of the Romanian King, Shao Mingren slightly bent over in observing diplomatic etiquette and replied: "Thank your Majesty the King for caring about me. I came to Bucharest and everything is well. Your government’s help to me is not small. I am deeply grateful for this."

After Shao Mingren answered, he felt a little grateful. Because the Beiyang government paid him only 10,000 yuan to open the Bucharest embassy, ​​and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs finally obtained the money, Shao Renming had no choice. As far as the current domestic fragmentation is concerned, any embassy abroad does not have to find ways to generate income on its own. After living in Europe for many years, how could he not understand.

However, there are currently too few economic and trade ties between Romania and the country, which makes it impossible for Ambassador Shao's income-generating plan to start.

But what made him even more uncomfortable was that the relatively high cost of housing and living in Bucharest made it unnecessary to spend 10,000 yuan, let alone buying a few good clothes and holding banquets to deepen the connection with other ambassadors. Therefore, Shao Mingren's life is very tight these days.

Fortunately, the Romanian government gave some help after learning about the embassy's dilemma, so that it could maintain the embassy.

After hearing Shao Mingren’s words, Edel continued: “Ambassador Shao, Romania and China have always had a good relationship. We have imported a lot of products from China, such as bristles, tung oil, tungsten ore, raw silk, tea, etc.”

Hearing Edel's speech, Shao Mingren also politely replied: "Thank Romania for loving our products."

"However, my country imports too few products from our country. For example, Romania's chemical products, automobiles, and processed food products, we can all cooperate."

Edel changed the conversation and talked about the current economic and trade issues between the two countries.

Speaking of Romania’s main exports of grain, petrochemicals and automobiles, China has always been unable to make a difference. Among them, the main factor is the competition from North America. U.S. grains, Ford cars, and Mobil Oil have been operating for many years, leaving Romania with no market in this unfamiliar land.

For example, last year, the annual trade volume between Romania and China was 34 million lei, of which Romania imported nearly 30 million lei and exported only 4 million lei. The main imports are bristles, tung oil, tungsten ore, raw silk, tea and so on.

Exports are mainly weapons. The main reason is actually because of the German weapons used in Romania, and China’s obsession with German weapons has caused some middlemen to import a lot of weapons and ammunition from Romania~www.wuxiahere.com~ sounds funny.

In fact, Romania's exports are mainly aimed at neighboring countries, and there is no pressure on foreign trade with China. However, people who are not far-sighted must have immediate worries. Edel cannot wait until the domestic economy has developed to a level that cannot be accommodated before finding a market for him, let alone the famous economic crisis ten years later.

At present, when you open the world map, you can see that Europe is still the engine of the world's economy. However, each country has its own trade barriers, and it is impossible for Romania to occupy much of it, with the exception of several neighboring countries. Edel did not intend to trade with the Soviet Union until there was no first person to eat crabs. Besides, they mainly buy all kinds of factory equipment, which Romania itself needs to import.

Africa is the colony of various countries and is the dumping ground of its sovereign state. Even the United States is so powerful that it cannot open this market, so I don't think about it. And don't think about the Americas. This is an economic colony of the United States, and Romania is not capable of challenging it. In Asia, except for a limited number of independent sovereign states, most of them are colonies.

However, in this limited number of countries, China is definitely the top priority for Romania. Even if the war was so fierce that the people didn't live, it never fell out of the scope of the world's major economies. Edel clearly wanted to get a piece of the pie.
